Construction / Infrastructure

Investment spending into drone technology from architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) organizations is expected to exceed $11 billion. This speaks volumes to the disruptive potential of drones as a tool to this industry as companies are realizing major efficiencies and safety improvements from implementing drones. Utilizing the best methods in accuracy leveraging RTK and PPK for differential correction of photo positions, survey accuracy results are achieved.

SOLUTIONS

Frequency: Drones can be deployed to collect up-to-date data at regular intervals with minimal cost and disruption to operations.
Data quality: Sensor technology enables operators to collect high-quality precision data from Lidar and other camera sensors. Furthermore, data obtained from hard-to-reach or inaccessible areas can be processed immediately on-site or at the office and shared with stakeholders.
Data analysis: Data can be processed into 3D photogrammetry or point-clouds, which can be further analyzed to extract volumetric calculations, stockpiles, elevation models etc.
Safety: Operators can collect data from a safe vantage point, improving safety up to 55% and reducing the need for humans to enter often hazardous environments.
Efficiency: Drones and sensors can collect data from large areas more efficiently and accurately than a person.

Applications

Construction site progress monitoring: Daily or even hourly flights can be performed to document and digitize sites.
Structural inspections: Inspections can be performed with ease using drone platforms with high-zoom cameras such as the Z30.
Site surveys: Elevation modeling, centimeter-level precision survey-grade mapping capabilities.
Stakeholder presentations: Create stunning presentations from a different perspective from high-definition video and photo captures.
Building Information Management (BIM): Digitize assets with real life dimensions.

LIDAR

Handheld or airborne, Lidar data creates point-cloud datasets that enables accurate measurements of surroundings.

Integrate with existing terrestrial Lidar data to make better decisions through informative insights. Digitize assets and historical events.
